Ritek no longer the hot ****!

[patch god]

Yes Gtapex, I was about to say the exact same thing after I saw the code said Ritek M02.

At the moment I have about 25 ritek G04's and 50 TY's. So I am a happy camper. ESPECIALLY since I got them hell cheap.

Ok Ive come across an interesting problem myself. I bought some Ritek GO4 from Meriteline about a week ago. Well I noticed that the bottoms of them were very light colored. Kinda like how Ritek was when they first started off. Well I did a check on DVDinfo Pro and it states that I have GO5 dye discs.

Now Im am beginning to wonder if this has anything to do with my hacked Pioneer drive maybe giving a false positive for GO5 or if indeed these are really GO5.

Bad part is, I have 6 failed burns with this batch that I have purchased from Meritline. Maybe Ill try the TY's out when I run out of stock.

Well tyler, I have seen people getting weird results when they have Alcohol 120% installled.

I have heard of Verbatim metal azo discs identify themselves as Pthalocyanine discs when they are Azo discs.

If you have Alcohol120%, remove it temporarily and see if the discs identify as something else.

If not, then it seems they faked riteks atip codes.

Dont got Alcohol installed. Never needed it.

Well, I have a hacked Pioneer 106D and I also have used Ritek G05. The g05's are also very dark in color, not light you said yours were. Oh and they also burnt excellently.

Sounds very fake and very dodgy to me. If I were you, I would ask for a refund, since they are fakes.

Think of it this way, if you buy a sony television, and came home to find out that it was an el-cheapo brand instead, you would ask for your money back.

Though I will be honest, they will probably be bitches to deal with and getting a refund may require some verbal ass whooping

It seems to be a popular trend with companies lately, to build up a good name with quality and value and then “cheap out” on the quality for extra profits.

Nah, Im not worried too much about it. I only bought a 25 pack. Not exactly a sony television. Ill buy from somewhere else next time.

Hmm sounds strange to me because ive always used riteks in my drive g03/g04 and i havent had 1 bad burn with them. As dvds are so cheap im gonna experiment with some new scratch proof tdks and some verbation azo ones they looks pritty cool.

I used to use ty cdrs and they were wicked
